Embodied You Retreat
What does the package include?
Katrin
Katrin is the co-founder of A-Frame and has built up the entire yoga area there. She is a trained yoga and meditation teacher and a qualified sports scientist. Her interest in people and their holistic health has shaped her path from the very beginning. Her classes are characterized by detailed instruction and a pleasant balance between calm and dynamism. She wants to create a space where everyone can come into their own and develop to the maximum. In addition to the physical aspect, Katrin loves yoga philosophy and psychology and incorporates this content into her classes through meditations, journaling and short lectures. For Katrin, yoga is a holistic approach to life that goes beyond physical activity and brings mindfulness into all areas of our lives.
Jane
Jane began her personal self-love journey in 2018. A major motivation was the diagnosis of her own autoimmune disease. Dealing with herself and the great desire to get well were and still are her driving forces. Helping others and showing that self-healing is possible at any time are her motivations. Over the past 3 years, she has developed her own treatment method; The Be You Method.
With her Healing Energetic Facials and the associated rituals for everyday life, she helps her clients on their way to more peace, serenity, reflection, implementation and, in doing so, to regain balance in the body via the body.
A week to be You.
Surrounded by the beautiful nature, vastness and tranquillity of El Palmar and right by the sea, we create a space for connection. A connection with yourself and your essence, which is so easily lost in our busy everyday lives.
The daily practice of yoga, somatics and relaxation, powerful meditations, as well as an introduction to rituals and understanding and working with your energy body, will lead you directly to yourself. You will perceive yourself on all levels of your being. Your system will calm down and you will remember who you really are. This will create a sense of calmness and stability that will bring you back to your power in a lasting way.
It is a week to be with yourself and for yourself. The practice gives you awareness and strength, the exchange with others inspires and empowers you, and the closeness to nature provides the perfect setting to feel whole again.

The „Embodied You Konzept”
Jane is a holistic practitioner specialising in facial and bodywork, energy work and consciousness development. Since 2019, she has completed numerous international training courses, including facial acupressure, Gua Sha facial fusion, Thai herbal poultice massage, manual lymphatic drainage connective tissue massage, Ashati energy healing and more. These influences have given rise to her own method, a combination of body awareness, energy work and deep presence. Her work reminds us how healing it is to arrive in our own bodies – to feel, understand and trust them.
Katrin is a certified sports scientist, trained yoga, mindfulness and meditation teacher, and somatic and life-purpose coach. In her teaching, she aims to create a safe space for mindful movement, further development and self-reflection. She is convinced that the closer we come back to our inherent core, the better we feel physically, mentally and in our lives. A practice that seeks to connect us with ourselves is the key to this.
In addition to their deep friendship, Jane and Katrin share an interest in people and their holistic well-being. In an authentic way, they teach you their lived knowledge to create more awareness for yourself and your physical, energetic and mental processes. From their own experience, they know that the better we perceive ourselves, the more we can shape our lives in a way that gives us strength, nourishes us and suits us.
In the sessions, they work with: our nervous system, the chakra teachings, our body and our own posture, our breath, inner peace, our lymphatic system, our soul purpose and much more. There is plenty of time for exchange and reflection, so that you can integrate the new insights well and take them home with you.
Each morning begins with meditation and bodywork (yoga, somatics, lymphatic drainage). After a nourishing breakfast together with a view of the sea, you will have time for yourself. You can swim, walk, surf, drive around or enjoy a massage. In the afternoon, we will meet for a second session, where you can expect deep relaxation, energy work rituals, breathwork and time for exchange.

Absolutely fantastic time we had here, great beaches, lovely staff, fantastic food, -- no really, the food is among the best I have ever had, day after day -- very lovely guests and super convenient distances to the surfing.
- Surfing: the whole schedule is centered around the surf times, and for good reason. The staff make sure that the groups always get the best waves of the day, even if that means taking a short drive somewhere else. The equipment is great for learners (I cannot judge the hard tops etc) with clean, relatively new, and fitting wet-suits. In addition to the lessons we can always go for more sessions privately, with access to the equipment.
- Lessons: The teachers are fantastic, their joy is contagious, they made learning super fun. In addition to great individual feedback there are additional offerings in terms of lectures, e.g. on wave theory. The video analysis also really helps to internalize some additional feedback. But again, the teachers are great!
- Food: Great food, always accommodating dietary restrictions, and with great variety. Every meal is different to the last, the meals are flexible if you're almost an hour late it's still usually fine, and they make sure you have enough of all the food you could want. Unlimited coffee, tea and fruit is also a great addition. Beer and wine cost extra, but at basically no markup. But once again: best food, fantastic, 6/5.
- Lodgings: Apartments where you will either be with the group you traveled with, or other guests. Clean, quiet, daily cleaning, everything you really need if you want to retreat during the day, or even cook a meal. WiFi is fast enough to fulfill most use cases.
- Common areas: allow all levels of socializing, provide fantastic views, promote meeting your fellow surfers.
- Yoga: I am not a fan of yoga, so I didn't do any, but the ones who did said is was great.
- Additional services: Photos from your surfing adventures and mishaps are available, massages, additional outings outside of the surf lessons (for example surf-skating) are on offer as well, providing a beautiful well rounded programme for the entire day.
- Vibes: 10/10, chill, social, down-to-earth, helpful.
Overall, better holiday than for example a ski trip in November (and I love skiing too). Come here! -

This has already been our second stay at A-Frame and again it was a super relaxed week and overall a holiday that can‘t be much better. We, a family with a toddler, can ony recommend this place to other families who are looking for a relaxed holiday with yoga, surf and amazing food. The people at A-Frame from surf coach to kitchen staff are just super friendly and you feel very much taken care at all times. Thanks so much to the whole team for another great holiday experience. We‘ll be back for sure.

Pretty much a perfect vacation. I learned to surf, did a lot of yoga, soaked up the beautiful weather, ate delicious food, and met some wonderful people. I don't speak German or Spanish and the staff switched to English to make everything easy for me. El Palmar is a very chill area and from there it's easy to make day trips to Conil, Vejer, and Cádiz.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stayed at A-Frame. Super friendly and helpful staff. We were always received with a smile and welcoming attitude. Shoutout to the kitchen people who were kind, and did an incredible job of serving tasty, healthy, and varied food that we all loved. We came with three small children and they all had a great time - surf lessons, board games, ping-pong table among other fun activities.
The house was spacious, well-kept, and clean. Would definitely stay there again if visiting El Palmar in the future. -
